There is an opinion that if you eat healthy and healthy foods daily, the figure will be completely safe. The main thing is, there are more vegetables, fruits, cereals from health food stores, exclude potatoes, flour and sweet. However, this is not quite true.

Eating the right foods, but not following a set of rules, you can all try to lose weight to zero. An article about which of the so-called “healthy” foods can lead to weight gain and in what quantities are they better consumed.

Oatmeal. Perfect breakfast. Oatmeal in the form of flakes that are simply steamed with boiling water are empty carbohydrates, which do not give a long saturation, provoke a jump in blood sugar, after which there comes a feeling of mad hunger. This means that in a very short time a person will again want to eat, not to mention that jumps of sugar program the body for obesity. As a result, it becomes even more difficult to lose weight. Among all the variety in the windows, oatmeal should be chosen as hard as possible. You can even use oats in pure form, which is sold at fairs by weight, controlling the size of portions (roughly – the fist in a compressed state). Thus, the saturation will be prolonged, and the level of sugar in the blood will not jump.

Berries and fruit. Especially sweet. Using them uncontrollably, weight gain is inevitable, since they contain a large amount of sugar. Therefore, 1-2 unsweetened apples, ½ grapefruit, green bananas or berries are ideal in the morning, the so-called “first snack”. They can be added to breakfast in porridge. Apples can be eaten baked, adding a little cinnamon. You can eat berries in fresh or frozen form or add them to smoothies. Sweet watermelon, grapes, persimmons are best avoided, in any case, until you reach the desired weight.

Dried fruits (raisins, dates, etc.). No one doubts the usefulness of these products. However, do not forget that there is a concept of “glycemic index of products” – is the ability of products to influence the level of glucose in the blood. The higher the index, the faster the glucose level. Therefore, for example, during weight loss these products, as a rule, are minimized or even prohibited. And sugar dieticians are usually offered to replace Stevia extract, which has 0 calories, so you can consume it as much as you want. It has a specific bitterish taste, this you will only feel for the first few days.

Vegetables. Everybody knows about their benefits, but few people think about their harm to the figure. All vegetables, except potatoes, low-calorie, quickly saturate the stomach, and also enrich the diet with fiber, which is very conducive to losing weight. But vegetables such as beets, corn, carrots, green peas are so-called simple carbohydrates, which also stimulate the increase in blood sugar, thereby hindering the process of losing weight. Therefore, the rate of consumption of these products – not more than 100 grams at a time. And there are them, like fruit and berries, it is only in the first half of the day to have time to “work out” physical activity, because unused carbohydrates will necessarily be laid off in the form of fat stores, for example, on the sides or waist. If for you daily training is a norm of life, then dosages can be increased, everything will be worked out in the gym and extra pounds will not be added.

Fruit fresh. With a glass of orange fresh, the body, of course, receives a dose of vitamins, especially vitamin C, but at the same time it also receives a dose of sugar. Therefore, it is better to choose unsweetened fruits (apples, grapefruits) and eat them whole, receiving a double benefit: you snack, and get a portion of fiber, useful for the intestine. If at the moment you are actively struggling with extra pounds, it is better to drink vegetable fresh. And drink as much as your heart desires, limiting except that consumption of beet and carrot, because these are foods that contain sugar, and also have a high glycemic index.

Nuts. All nuts (cashew, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, etc.) are quite fatty. And if you take into account that the daily fat rate for a person is 80-100 grams, 40% of them must be plant, then all we can afford is a few pieces during a snack in pure form, you can add them to a salad or sprinkle them with sandwiches with feta cheese, for example.

Olive oil. Despite the wide application of this useful product in dietetics, one should not forget about its caloric value. In 100 grams of butter contains about 900 calories. Therefore, more than two tablespoons of olive oil a day, each containing 150 kcal, is not recommended. For salads it is better to make refueling: to 1 teaspoon of oil you can add lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and mustard. One of the ways: put the salad in a colander, pour the dressing and wait until the oil drains.

]]>Sometimes we wonder: why do some people first take an interest in our opinion, and then take offense at our assessment? Often this leads to conflicts, mutual frustration, and sometimes we even cease to communicate with colleagues or friends.

That the criticism was constructive, increased your authority, that to you listened and consulted with you, use the rules.

1. Do not criticize, but give feedback
Start with positive comments, from what you really liked. Be sincere. After comment, what would you do differently.

2. Do not let the negative emotions
Go to criticism only in a calm state. Otherwise, there is a great risk of moving to individuals, and this leads to resentment and conflict.

3. Try to be benevolent
Smile, speak in a calm, even voice, in which case the interlocutor will likely listen to your words.

4. Avoid accusatory tone
Replace the phrase “You did wrong” with the words “I think it had to be done differently”.

5. Do not compare with others, but recommend a useful experience
Suppose you say, “You did not succeed, but Mr. X coped with the task!” Such a comparison, first, does not give anything to the interlocutor, and secondly, undermines his faith in himself. It is more constructive to construct a conversation like this: “Mr. X was engaged in a similar project. In his blog, he described the experience and mistakes made during the work. Maybe you should read his blog? Surely there will be a lot of useful. ”

6. Evaluate the action, not the person
Feel the difference between the phrases “There are incorrect data in your report” and “You are so inattentive that you have made a lot of mistakes in the report”.

7. Do not discount the efforts of others
Try to stand in the place of the interlocutor, imagine how much energy and energy he has invested in what you are now evaluating. This will help to become kinder to him.

8. Structure the assessment
Confusion and a large amount of information will not help convey your thoughts. Speak clearly and in the case. This will give credibility to the evaluation, and the interlocutor will listen to it.

9. Do not harm
It happens that we unconsciously seek to disappoint another. For example, you see that a colleague, friend or acquaintance did something brilliant. He himself is sure of this and expects that you will praise him. Instead, you say: “In general, not bad.” Such an assessment, you at least spoil your interlocutor with an uplifting mood, as a maximum, undermine your faith in yourself.

The reason for this behavior is envy. Try to do otherwise: first, be above envy, admire the work. Secondly, let the envy motivate you to new achievements and self-improvement.

10. Reassure whoever you criticize
It is important to end the criticism on a kind word, so as not to discourage the interlocutor from consulting with you or doing anything.

Constructive criticism brings together and becomes a source of personal growth for both the speaker and the one who is criticized. Dialogue is the source of new experience, knowledge and a way to find common interests. Criticizing with meaning and good intentions, you create a solid base for partnerships.

]]>The fashion for small dogs has already been several thousand years. Even queen Cleopatra kept at the court Maltese dog, which also in its way glamorous dogs. In ancient Rome noble ladies started melilit. In the XVIII-XIX centuries secular lionesses appeared at events, pinching under the arm of miniature companions. Our age was no exception. Dogs accompany their hostesses on social occasions and fashionable parties, in restaurants, nightclubs and long trips. Fortunately, they fit perfectly in a small women’s bag.

Breeds that enjoy the love of modern secular ladies are many. Happy owners of “living jewelry” pampers them as they can. Shih Tzu, Chinese Crested Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, glamorous dogs and clothes for them are chosen taking into account the latest fashion trends. Virtually all high fashion houses create special collections for four-legged pets. Babies buy jewelry, make a manicure, fashionable hairstyles, and if necessary, lead to special “dog” psychologists.
Glamorous dogs, pictures of which are filled with glossy magazines and the Internet, draw attention to their owners as well as smart dresses and glittering jewelry. They are a symbol of success, prosperity and belonging to a “higher society”. Such a baby already ceases to be perceived as an animal. And therefore, according to many, from a friend and pet is gradually becoming simply a luxury item.

The fashion for glamorous dogs has a lot of opponents. Many animal rights advocates believe that such treatment of a living being is absolutely unacceptable. For example, in England, the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals plans to impose punishment for the owners, “dressing up” their pets. It is believed that hats, shoes and overalls can cause harm to small animals. And “unhealthy way of life” shakes their nervous system.

On the other hand, it’s no secret that almost all dogs – whether important or small – have their own “mission”. There are hunting, watchdog and special fighting breeds. Dogs “serve” in police and customs, “work” border guards and rescuers. The work of glamorous dogs – to accompany their owners at social events. It seems that this is not the most sad fate.

However, there is another problem. Fashion is a capricious thing. Today one breed is at the peak of popularity, tomorrow – another. And if the glamorous doggie is just an accessory, then how to be “out of fashion” creature?

This issue is seriously taken care of in the UK. There appeared a firm that provides “for hire” well-bred and well-groomed dogs of the most fashionable breeds. Thus, ladies who want to show off at a reception or a party with a “living toy” are spared from almost all worries. The service is a success.

A little happiness

However, it seems that for most people the predilection for glamorous dogs is not just a tribute to fashion. Faithful, reliable, affectionate and surprisingly cute creatures simply can not but cause reciprocal love.

These dogs perfectly relieve stress. They are able to cheer and improve the mood even at the most difficult moment. And thanks to their tiny size, the lucky mistress can not part with her little miracle for a minute.

]]>Hiking in the mountains is guaranteed a new outlook on life. It’s fresh breath, hope and inspiration. It is a reassessment of values ​​and a focus on the important. This is good for all aspects of health and character formation. Today, let us recall the most important, beautiful and famous mountain peaks of the States. And who knows how many of them you once decide to conquer.

“Snow-covered mountains” (in Spanish) pass almost through the entire eastern part of California. Sierra Nevada is a mountain system occupying 466mi 50yd of the coast. The rivers that flow from here one day become part of the Pacific Ocean. One of the most popular local reservoirs is Lake Tahoe. There are canyons with beautiful landscapes (Kern Canyon and Kings Canyon), and the majestic grove of sequoia denroona with the most massive trees in the world. The eastern slope is dotted with pine, juniper forests, and alpine meadows.

Yosemite National Park is also here! But the main local queen is Mount Whitney. This is the highest point of the Sierra Nevada range.

This two-headed mountain settled in the south of the central part of Alaska. She proudly wears the title of the highest mountain of North America. The location of Denali is the National Park of the same name.

Until 2015, the mountain was called as McKinley, in honor of the 25th US president. And today’s name from the language of the Athabaski Indian is translated as “great.” Which is not easy – the height of Denali is 3mi 1.5e.

Before us is a huge granite block, which began to move out of the earth’s surface 60 million years ago. The reason is tectonic activity. The top of Denali is always covered with snowflakes – it is a source of food for local glaciers.

How about climbing such a monster? In 1906, individuals emerged who claimed that the mountain had submitted to them. But after a few years, the surface surfaced data on the falsification of materials – the photos were faked. Years passed, and Denali found her true heroes. For example, on June 7, 1913, Hadsan Stuck managed to get to the top. And in 1932 the first victims appeared – they were two brave men. Today, the number of such climbers already exceeds a hundred. Only 58% reach the end.

The fastest climb to Denali is 11 hours and 40 minutes. Such a record in 2014 was established by Catalan Kilian Burgada.

Mount Foraker is part of the Alaska Range and is located on the territory of the Denali National Park that we have already mentioned. For the first time the mountain was conquered in 1934 by mountain climbers.

Previously, many did not distinguish Mount Foracor and Denali. But the Indians, who came later, clearly understood that there is something. They called the mountains of Sultan (in translation – “Woman”) and Menlale (“Denali’s wife”).

Mitchell

In North Carolina, the famous peak is Mount Mitchell – the highest point in the Appalachians. With the sea, the mountain is divided by 1mi 4.7e. And it was named after Professor Elisha Mitchell. He for many years explored the area, and died here, falling into a waterfall. They buried the drowned Mitchell, too, on the local mountain open spaces.

From the vegetation here is popular red fir and Fraser spruce – this is the most beautiful sight to watch first hand. Moreover, the climate is favorable: in summer the temperature is mild, winters are moderately cold.

In our list there is a place and stratovolcano. In addition, the acting. So we do not agitate to go up to St. Helens, we just pay attention to the special creation of nature. At 52mi from Seattle, in the vastness of Washington, this dangerous miracle is located. During the eruption in 1980, 57 people died here. And the volcano itself in the process decreased by 1,300 feet.

The phenomenon of a terrible beauty was photographed to photographer Robert Landsburg. The photos are preserved, but the author died at the scene. Artists could not ignore the beauty of St. Helens. So, despite the danger, in the crater of the volcano they shot one of the scenes for the movie Dante Peak (1997).

This mountain, the ascent to which is quite real, is located in the state of Colorado. The highest peak of the Rocky Mountains can boast a growth of 2mi 1.3e.

There are several routes to it. Most often, climbers choose to start a trek from the east, from the Colorado trail. But if you are not looking for easy ways, the most difficult here is the Black Cloud Trail. In the latter case, save 10-15 hours of time on the way.

Mount Ilya

Mount Saint Elias is considered the property of both Canada and the United States. Because it is located on the border of Alaska and the Territory of the Yukon. Its height above sea level is 3mi 7.2e, which raises the mountain to second place among the tops of Canada.

The first legs set foot here in July 1897, and the second ascent was recorded only in 1946. The part that is located on the territory of America, is part of the national park of Rangel-St-Elias, the largest national park in the United States, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Parks and Reserves of Clouayne, Rangel-St-Elias, Glacier Bay and Tatshensini-Alsek.”

We finish the hit parade with such a small, but compulsory to visit a mountain peak like the Cadillac Mountain. Its height is only 470 m above sea level, and the mountain is located on the outskirts of the Mount Desert Island.

Earlier, Cadillac was called the Green Mountain, and its today’s name was received in honor of the French traveler and researcher, governor of New France Antoine Lome de Lamota de Cadillac. You need to go here in clear weather to be able to enjoy the view of the highest point of Maine – Katadin and on the coast of Nova Scotia.

Here you can first see the dawn, if in autumn or winter, when you want to sleep longer, still sacrifice your comfort, and climb to the summit at the right time. In gift – the virgin beauty of nature, pure waking up sky, coniferous forests, giving clean air.

To date, there has been a huge number of different types of diets in the diet. There are useful and scientifically based diets, but there are absolutely absurd and even ridiculous. For example, grapefruit (there are only grapefruits) or a similar lemon, or a diet in which you need to drink only one water with the addition of laxative drugs. Such diets are very much in the Internet and all of them are very popular to this day.

Where do these diets come from? How can they be popular at all? – you ask. As a rule, such diets are created by some popular foreign person, for example, an actor or a showman. After writing the book, a powerful advertising campaign is created with the help of this person’s popularity, and they gradually begin to spread, which leads to their followers. Most of these diets are absolutely absurd, do not have any scientific justification. Therefore, in order to understand them a little, it is necessary to know what kind of diets exist in the diet and what they are intended for.

What are the types of diets in the diet

For weight loss – this is the largest number of existing diets that help in the fight against excess weight. They are a huge number (thousands), and the list of the most common includes about 100-150 pieces. Can be divided into groups where the energy value is calculated or calories cut “Low Carbohydrate”.

Ancient – can be based on creeds, religious views or rituals. An example can be a vegetarian diet, it almost came from a ritual, or a paleo diet for weight loss, which is very popular today, it preserved the principles of feeding cave people during the Paleolithic.

Unloading – are used most often day of health improvement of the body. Apply them once in one or two weeks on an ongoing basis with just one properly selected product. They are able to purify the body, remove toxins, toxins and excess fluid. Thanks to this nutrition, you can get rid of edema and reduce the volume of the stomach.

Medical – most often discharged by doctors in hospitals, for patients who have certain problems with the body or certain diseases. They can be mandatory, for example, when a person is contraindicated to eat food with gluten or if a person has an exacerbation of allergic reactions.

Crash (shock) – they are also called fast, most often harmful and very dangerous to health. Intended for rapid intensive weight loss. They use extremely severe nutrition schemes, where all meals can be reduced to only one product. When using such diets, people simply scoff at their bodies, because try to lose weight in just a few days. In this way they reduce the daily calorie content to 700 kcal, cut down the amount of consumed foods to a minimum and bring the organism to exhaustion.

Balanced – these are long-term diets that are based on rational nutrition without harm to your personal health. Such diets you can use for more than one month, and in some cases they can turn into a normal lifestyle (after getting used to). Such diets are used for both reduction and normalization of their weight and metabolism.

Proper and healthy weight loss is 10% of the total body weight for 3 months. Suppose you are a woman weighing 198 lb, you need to lose about 55 lb, so in the first three months you can lose no more than 19-20 lb. This will be considered a healthy and normal weight loss, which will not lead to poor health and health problems. Therefore, remember, if you need to lose weight not by 3-6 lb, but by 33, then stretch them for at least six months. Try to avoid extreme diets, do not take it into your head (punching the pill into yourself), drink it and put enemas, hoping to lose 22 lb in one week, because in the end, it will necessarily pour out to you sideways. Problems can be very serious, up to a lethal outcome. This is especially harmful for women, the list is very sad:

Violation of water-salt metabolism

Violation of women’s health

Violation of the menstrual cycle

Impaired reproductive function

Sitting on such a shock diet, you start the mechanisms of self-destruction of the body. Your body is rebuilt, launches a program of “self-survival” – when the body is in a constantly stressful condition, which in consequence will lead to infertility, after all, why her offspring, if she survives with difficulty.

Try to always very deliberately approach the issues of nutrition and especially weight loss. Remember that everything should be natural and any sharp jumps are fraught with bad consequences.

]]>Some habits can be useful for our health, and some, although they seem harmless, yet still carry a hidden threat to the body. Therefore, in order to protect yourself from harming your own health, read the list of 5 harmful cases that we are accustomed to do right after eating. By refusing these habits, you will be able to maintain your health, and even prolong your own life.

1. Smoking after eating
According to surveys conducted by 5 different, independent social organizations, 90 percent of smokers prefer to smoke a cigarette immediately after eating. Out of habit, it grows into a part of the lifestyle, but still you can not smoke immediately after eating – it is very harmful to health.

Nicotine adversely affects the process of digestion – inhibition of enzymes, which can lead to serious problems with metabolism, and even provoke diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is necessary to wait at least 30 minutes after eating, and then only light.

To drink a serving of appetizing tea is how to say “good morning”. But practically no one thinks about how harmful it is for our health and figure.

In no case can you drink any liquid immediately after a meal, because it dilutes the gastric juice, and because of this digestion can not be complete. Wait at least 20 minutes after eating, and then drink whatever you want.

3. Eat Fruit
Bite an apple or tangerine after a meal – which of us did not? But, in fact, this is wrong. Fruit acids lead to the processes of fermentation in the stomach and intestines, and the food can not be digested. It is better to use fruits and vegetables for snacks in between full meals.

Especially those who have a very busy schedule have a habit of active right after eating. Take your time, wait a bit, because the process of digestion requires activation of the circulatory system in the field of organs that take part in it. And if you break down and start running about your business immediately after eating, you deprive the body of the opportunity to get the most nutrients from food, and because of this in an hour you will feel hunger and weakness.

There is nothing surprising in that after a meal we sometimes want to sleep, but it is better to do it not earlier than 2 hours after eating. The fact is, if you fall asleep immediately after eating, then nothing good will come of it – the body will not rest, because the digestion process is actively going on, which also can not be full because all processes in the body slow down during sleep . As a result, wake up not rested, and will feel heaviness in the stomach.

The best, most healthy way to spend time after a meal is a leisurely 15-20 minute walk.

The New Year is coming one of the long-awaited holidays. Conduct it in a good mood and catch your luck by the tail you will help the advice of psychics.

Each person has his own problems, which he tries to solve before the New Year, in order to enter into it without debts and bad mood. Experts present to your attention an article in which famous psychics share their knowledge. With their help, you can get rid of ten things that prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest.

What should I get rid of before the New Year?

1. Let go of people who are not on your path. Envious people, ill-wishers, former lovers and simply unpleasant people will not make your life happy. Learn to tell them “no” and say goodbye to the past forever. Enter the New Year from scratch, leaving in it the insults and reproaches. Spend a ritual that will cleanse you of the accumulated negative, and stop worrying about how your life will develop without these people.

2. Psychics recommend celebrating the New Year in a new interior. Get rid of old and boring furniture, disassemble pantries and other angles from the accumulated rubbish. Without regret, throw everything that you do not use. Do a rearrangement or make a cosmetic repair – all this will help you to update the energy of the house. Make your home a zone of comfort and coziness, where you can rest and gain strength.

3. Close all debts. If this is not possible, then at least part of it. Make all the promises, not postponing for later. So you can get rid of the negative, which inevitably follows unfinished business. If you were going to fix something yourself, buy the right thing, hang a shelf to your neighbors – do it before the New Year holidays.

4. Get rid of fears. If you can not cope with some phobias yourself, then contact a specialist. Remember that most of our fears are groundless, and most often we are afraid of uncertainty and uncertainty. Take the first step to overcome yourself, and it will become much easier for you to achieve success. Fear fetters people, preventing them from developing.

5. Get rid of bad habits. If you are constantly late, get up early, learn to save time, succinctly do things without stretching them. Smoking is also worth throwing right now. Do not go on about your own lack of will, fight for well-being.

6. Stop going to hated work. If you do not experience positive emotions in the place where you spend most of the time, then such work will not give you anything good. Do not cling to the position and do not try to convince yourself of the significance of your activity. Do what you like. Psychics claim that any work that a person does day after day with negative thoughts, weakens his biofield and makes him vulnerable to any negative.

7. Release your own prejudices about yourself. Do not try to be equal to the people around you. Do not pursue stereotypes of beauty and success. Follow your own path, conquering the heights and enjoying life.

8. Let go of the thought that you are financially insolvent. Develop a plan to close debts, start looking for new ways to earn money. Perhaps you have a hobby that you do not do because of a lack of free time. Turn your favorite occupation into a lifetime affair, and then you can work for yourself and yourself, while enjoying tremendous pleasure.

9. Stop making promises that you will not be able to accomplish. Learn to deny people, if you know for sure that you will not be able to fulfill their requests. Do not look for excuses. Just stop being polite to everyone. You no longer have to justify yourself and frantically look for free time for unnecessary affairs.

The second half of December is always a summary of the past year, and, of course, the planning of the next. But it is one thing to plan and write down 10, 20 … 100 tasks / plans for the coming year in the list, and another thing is to fulfill them. If you are faced with the fact that not all of your wishes or plans come true, then you have wrongly planned them.

Do you have enough time

You can not embrace the immensity. If you have a vacation for only two weeks, and you have planned a week at sea, and two weeks traveling to a distant country, and winter holidays in the mountains, you can surely delete all the points of your plan, because they will simply have no time to do it! Therefore, before drawing up a list of plans for the new year, analyze your life and think about how much free time you have in a week, a month, a quarter, a year.

Why it is necessary to make a similar division? For example, you want to go to the pool in the evenings. But after analyzing your week, you see that you already have busy at 3 pm, you go to the gym, and on Fridays you always meet with friends. Swimming in the evenings on weekdays you just will not work, so you need to look for this lesson another time

Do you really want this?

We create our own lives and in it, really those things appear and the plans that we really need are being accomplished. For example, all your friends go to Malibu and surf. You like surfing is interesting, although in fact, you are more like a snowboard. Despite this, you are planning one such trip with your friends in the new year. When it’s time to make it, you either refuse it, because the snowboard still wins or goes to it and is not quite interesting for yourself to spend time. Is this really what you need?

Separate large / serious tasks into several

What are we talking about here? For example, one of the items in your plan for the next year is to lose 5 pounds. If this item is left in this form, then it is unlikely that this wish will come true. Lose weight by a few pounds is not the task of one day or even one month. To make this plan come true, it must be divided into several small ones. For example: find a fitness center next to home or work, reconsider your eating habits, consult with a nutritionist, buy cosmetics from stretch marks, make an appointment for a massage and so on.

Thus, you step by step follow each of the items in the plan and ultimately achieve your goal. The same applies to such plans as buying a car or an apartment, mastering a new profession or switching to a new job, acquiring any skills (not only be able to embroider, but step by step – buy fabric, buy threads) and so on.

Specify your plan

Do not just write “be healthy“, but pay attention to nutrition and sports, not just “get rich”, but find new ways of earning, improve your skills and so on

In order for everything planned to come true, you need to understand why you need to implement all the items in the plan. Why should you lose weight by 5 pounds? You certainly will not lose weight just to see on the scales another figure, but for …. Answer for what. And the salary twice as much you want to receive is not easy, so that the card had more money, and in order to buy something.

In other words, for each point of the plan justify / understand for yourself why you really need it. What is your ultimate goal.

Do not plan too much

There are a lot of articles on the Internet about how many points of the plan should be planned, how many wishes to make, in which spheres of life it is worth planning more than in others and so on. If you looked at the previous year, you realized that you did not fulfill 10% of the planned one, then for the new year, write the plan 10 times less. It is better to let the items be smaller, but you will do them all. And you can always add new ones in six months.

Let’s remind, the Yellow Earthen Dog is a symbol of the coming 2018. Success in 2018 depends on the people who surround you, so it’s worth concentrating on new acquaintances and family, then it will be easier to survive any hardships.

Many families breed dogs, often with the goal of providing greater security in the home or simply out of love for the lesser brothers. And have you ever thought that our four-legged friends are also good doctors? Let’s see what kind of health benefits dogs can bring.
Dogs against depression
Why appreciate a dog? First of all, for her devotion. She loves her master simply for what he is, regardless of his material wealth, social status, appearance. It is this fidelity and unconditional love that create for the person a world in which he is comfortable and in which he is not alone.

Thanks to dogs, people feel that someone needs them, someone admires them and loves them. It is an effective remedy for depression.

This is especially important for the elderly. It is not for nothing that abroad in nursing homes contain dogs that help people compensate for some age-related manifestations.

If older people get dogs at home, they have to go out more often, go to the store to buy food. Often, caring for a quadruped pet becomes the meaning of the life of an elderly person. In addition, dogs help their masters to expand the circle of friends and acquaintances. Of course, such a tool helps mainly those who love dogs since childhood.

A group of scientists from the United States studied the impact of communication between people and dogs on depression. The study involved 6 thousand people. It turned out that four-legged friends reduce the probability of depression by 60-70%. Also, dogs help to recover after a long treatment. The appearance in the hospital of a beloved dog brings even more emotion than communication with relatives.

Dogs from mental disorders

According to American scientists, dogs can significantly improve the condition of children with autism. They seem to return from another world into the real world.

In people with disabilities or suffering from psychological diseases, self-esteem rises, the state of loneliness disappears, and a belief in solving internal problems appears.

It is not uncommon for four-legged pets to save their masters from possible suicide. No matter how gloomy the internal state was, the look of the pet loaded them with positive energy, brought them back to life.

Facts about the benefits of seals

James Serpell of the group of animal studies at Cambridge University holds the view that pets tend to radiate kindness and support, which lacks relationships between people.

In some countries, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, dogs help patients with epilepsy. No one can explain how the tailed brothers less feel the approach of the attack of the illness, but they do it perfectly.

When the consciousness of the patient is disconnected, they substitute their body: thus, they absorb shock when seizures of those for whom they took “responsibility”. In addition, in case of accidents, dogs can call for help, referring to other people.

Dogs for children

Animals can be excellent teachers for children. Even toddlers learn to observe, draw conclusions, to foresee consequences. This can be understood by observing the communication of the child with the dog. Without saying anything, they understand each other and are friendly.

Dogs teach children kindness and responsiveness. They can raise a respectful attitude towards others in the child.

In adolescents, a tailed friend reduces manifestations of aggression, develops a sense of responsibility, tolerance, kindness, independence. It is a faithful, understanding companion.

In addition, dogs expand their horizons. Children learn the features of animal nutrition, their behavior, understand the need to take care of loved ones.

And besides, it is important that dogs fulfill the duties of guards. Even small dogs can scare off their thieves, attract the attention of household members. With such a friend it is less dangerous to leave children alone in the apartment.

Dogs for heart and immunity

Dog lovers suffer less from hypertension. It is believed that by creating contact with the pet, stroking it on the wool, a person improves the indices of palpitation, breathing, and pressure. In addition, the dog’s saliva contains enzyme lysozyme, which destroys pathogens.

Studies have shown that those who keep dogs in the house, lower the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Some dog owners claim that to improve their well-being, they just need to have a tail tail close.

Suffering heart disease or easily excitable people are advised to start quiet pets. Scientific studies in Canada and Australia have shown that dog owners are less likely to turn to doctors, rarely use medicines.

Scientists from the universities of Finland and Germany have established that children in contact with dogs are 50% less likely to suffer from eczema, dermatitis, asthma.

Some pregnant women admitted that dogs in the house helped them to tolerate toxicosis more easily. This can be explained by the fact that the pet distracted himself from the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy.

A few words about dog hair. Warm mittens made of such wool are well protected against frost, and belts and scarves help in the treatment of sciatica.

A good soothing effect is possessed by such breeds of dogs as labrador and shar pei. For children are good collie, risen schnauzer, boxer, Airedale, St. Bernard, Newfoundland.

Large dogs can give great help. Large dogs have high cardiac alpha-rhythm activity. And if you put your hand every day in the area of ​​his heart, then the dog will become for you a kind of “pacemaker”. US scientists have revealed that the highest percentage of survival after a heart attack in pet lovers. Observations during the year after the attack showed that the health of such people recovered better than the rest.

The superiority of the healing effect belongs to the Chinese crested dog. On her body there is no hair, and the body has a high temperature. It is believed that high degrees help in the treatment of radiculitis, skin diseases, joint diseases.

Dogs for the preservation of the family

Observations in the United States for married couples showed that those who kept dogs could easily pass through turmoil and resolve conflicts more quickly than “courageous” couples. One of the explanations for this phenomenon is that pets rally the family, create common interests.

Dogs for sports

Having a dog, willy-nilly forced to walk it every day, and in any weather. And this is a good sport. Some pets have an energetic character, forcing their owners to walk fast or even to run. By the way, every day the owner and dog go through great distances. Agree, without a dog it’s hard to get yourself to walk. Dogs play a role as an alarm clock, forcing the family to wake up, and the simulator.

In the world of people around us, there are more successful and less successful. There are those who have realized themselves in many spheres, manage their lives and understand what they want to achieve in the future. And there are those who “go with the flow”. And all this is our own choice.

Meanwhile, you can learn how to manage your destiny. To do this, we must master the art of correctly prioritizing and realizing ourselves in all areas of life that we need for happiness and progress. How can you learn this?

The secret of the first: universal recipes, suitable for everyone, does not exist! But this does not mean that you can not use the experience gained and tested by other people. On the contrary, it is necessary to begin with this. And to adjust and adapt for their needs the advice of coaches, business coaches and psychologists, and then.

Primary and secondary goals

Do you have the most important, main goal in life? And the very first goal in this year? Surprisingly, the English word Priority, which arose in the XV century, more than five hundred years of its existence did not have a plural! It seemed right and normal for people to have a single, most important goal. This situation persisted until the twentieth century. Now in any company and at any meeting, employees put ten or more priority tasks only for the current day.

If this principle is admitted into one’s life, then the feeling of being a squirrel running in a wheel will remain with you until retirement. Learn to reduce the number of priorities and clearly understand what your main task is – to start at least for today.

Work in joy

How to improve efficiency

At the same time, immediately try to understand whether this is your goal, or imposed on you from outside – friends, relatives, management and so on. In our society, the volume of contacts with other people is so great that it is difficult to distinguish what we ourselves want to do, from what society imposes on us. Therefore, often more than half the time is spent on things that are not important for us, but urgent and important for others.

This does not mean that we should give up helping other people. But it is important to realize that these are not your tasks, and you are doing them, willingly putting off your own affairs for later.

Five Steps to Manage Your Time

Extraordinarily popular now are the principles of time management, which make life more meaningful, organized and harmonious. On the time management written volumes, and still a huge number of psychologists and coaches continue to teach people how to properly manage their time.

Note, it is much more important not to talk about this, but to begin to translate into your own life at least some principles of time management, and you yourself will understand what techniques are right for you and which are not. These principles are rather simple, but it is important to implement them systematically.

The first thing to do is to highlight the very priorities that have already been discussed. In practice, this is difficult, so we need to make a list of the most important, global goals. And then filter it according to the degree of importance and urgency. It is necessary to do this.

If you do not plan your future, if you do not have a goal or plan, then you are like a boat that drifts aimlessly in the ocean, hoping to be somewhere in a good place. Agree, it’s silly to wait for it. Just like GPS directs you to your destination, you need your own internal GPS that will guide you.

The second step is to divide the large volume plans into a list of smaller tasks that can really be accomplished. Do not delay the beginning of a lot of work! When the plan is voluminous, it frightens you, but you just have to start making the first of the items, and the path to the final is already presented as a list of quite feasible tasks.

The third step is the refusal to perform secondary things. Focus only on the main thing! This is called the Pareto principle. It says that 80% of the positive results we get, applying only 20% of the effort. And all our other forces go to do the remaining small list of cases. Therefore, it is necessary to perform only what we can be effective in. And what remains, it is better to outsource, delegate, or even sweep, as not the most important.

Fourth – by all means, finish one or two deferred cases per day.

And, finally, the fifth – evaluate your effectiveness, raise it all the time. Do not quit long-term business halfway, but lead to the logical end of their implementation and outline new goals.

That’s all. Although each of the items can be deployed in several lectures. But instead of endlessly studying the theory, it is better to take the techniques invented by other people, and try to apply them yourself. You will quickly understand what suits you and what does not. After all, managing your time is just a skill. But it makes our life much more meaningful and structured.

Plans for the year, for the week, for the month

In parallel with long-term planning, which still needs to mature, it is worth starting to create more understandable and realistic plans for the day and for the week. Ideally, you should have related plans for each year, for a month, for a week, for a day.

Plans for the next year are best written at the end of the previous one, but in January it is not too late to think about it, of course. First, formulate the main goals and mark the main events. When will they occur? Now start planning your vacation! Enter the annual leave plan and where you will spend it, as well as all vacations, trips and travel. Now decide when you need to organize them to buy the most successful and inexpensive tickets and book hotels.

In your annual plan should also get something new, what do you plan to do, whether it’s studying the language, losing weight or training, changing jobs or repairing an apartment. Identify important dates, and not only related to work or study, but also with hobbies, and with a personal life.

Plans for the month are also written, but with more detailed elaboration of the terms. You should write them at the end of the previous month, and then you can adjust, as, indeed, the annual plans – this is normal!

Make sure that in the first plan for the month reflected those global goals, which are in the annual. The earlier you start to implement them, the better! It is better to immediately assess the “scale of the disaster” and understand what is about a tenth of what you need to do in the first month. It is the tenth, not the twelfth, because there will be more holidays and vacations, during which you will be occupied with rest, not with deeds.

Do not forget your friends’ birthdays, trips to relatives and other visits. Record all plans in the calendar. Find out which applications you plan to use for planning. Try several electronic and paper organizers or other planning tools.

Plans for the week are made on Sunday evening, or, if you prefer, on Friday. Here it is necessary to filter out the unimportant things clearly! What to fill your week – no question. But how to find the time for the main thing? Therefore, start with the main thing. Write in the plan what moves you to those priority goals that you have been formulated in the annual plan.

Strongly write in the week plan and what you were going to start, but postponed or feared. Did you want to go in for sports three times a week? It’s time to set days and time for training!

It is better to reflect in the week-long plan everything that will require your time and soul resources to properly distribute them and to weed out all unnecessary or unnecessary. Do not forget to leave in plan time for communication with children and family, for meetings with friends, pleasures and recreation!

Daily planning is the most responsible. After all, it is from the days that our life develops. So, it is at this stage that we project all our future successes and failures. Plan your day best in the evening of the previous day. So you already give yourself an installation in advance, that you can cope with everything and everything you have planned, and wake up immediately with this knowledge.

Set the tasks in the order of priority and do first only the most urgent and important. If you leave the most difficult for later, it will immerse you in a state of stress. It is better to quickly cope with all the difficult or unpleasant and exhale.

True, some psychologists say that this strategy does not suit everyone. After all, we must take into account their own biorhythms too. If you are an “owl” and the peak of your activity falls on the second half of the day, then perhaps it will be more effective for you to tactically increase the complexity of the tasks performed. Either way, the list of your affairs for the day should always be at your fingertips. If at the end of the day all the cases turned out to be crossed out, then your effectiveness was on top!

We offer 10 useful tips from experts in creating a business that will help you make a strategy for moving forward.

Set your goals and set priorities

Defined with goals and priorities. However, you do not need to immediately set yourself the goal of owning your own progressive company. To begin with, try to create a small business and already at this stage feel yourself as a manager, planning further development. Move to the dream slowly, but confidently!

Use the time correctly

Learn to control your time and allocate a certain amount to solve important cases. Give preference to those cases that can contribute to the solution of the next task and issues that positively influence the progress in business.

Update your wardrobe

If you have recently dressed in the style of a hipster and been a cool guy at the university, then it’s time to re-examine your wardrobe and purchase clothes in a business style for interviews and business issues. Do you want to earn a million? Then look good.

Bring your body to shape

The effect of even the most expensive business clothes will come to naught if the beer belly is under the shirt. So start doing sports, jogging, or at least daily long walking tours. In this case, eat less sweets and fatty, heavy food. After all, in a healthy body – a healthy mind.

Do not be afraid to take responsibility

Performing a new task, do not be afraid of responsibility and even possible mistakes made. The main thing is to show initiative, get useful experience and work on mistakes, if they do arise. Also, do not forget to analyze the ups and downs of other people, drawing conclusions for yourself.

Do not spray everything at once

Remember that it is impossible, having undertaken all affairs at once, to reach positive results. Even in spite of the fact that you have good knowledge in several directions at once, concentrate on one goal and confidently implement it. In this case, you will be able to conduct an in-depth analysis of the methods for implementing it, and also to concentrate well.

Be punctual

Often, non-punctuality in people stretches from the school age and manifests itself in many, if not all, life spheres. This habit needs to be eradicated, because if you are always waiting for a business partner or an investor, then for sure he will doubt your competence and will not want to deal with you.

Become charming and attractive

Watch your appearance, use expensive toilet water and be sure to work on your manners to conduct dialogues and negotiations. The interlocutor should feel comfortable in your presence and feel friendly. So be good-natured, smile and show willingness to make contact.

Wake up the speaker

The ability to speak beautifully is an important part of any businessman. At the same time, it is important to be a good speaker not only for a 100-fold rehearsed presentation, but also in an informal setting with business partners. As practice shows, communication outside the office often becomes more effective than business negotiations.

One must love one’s activity

According to experts, it is the desire to do business is the decisive factor, whether to be progress and success. If everything is done without enthusiasm and desire, then the result will be far from unexpected. Therefore, business should bring not only income, but also satisfaction of moral needs.

Do not look away, as others develop and enjoy success. You have every chance to become one of the successful and respected people. Start acting now, and you will see how the wheel of fortune turns to face you.

]]>Trying to deal with all the cases and again do not have time? Do you feel like a squirrel in a wheel and complain that you do not have enough time? Then do not look at the clock, and, most importantly, think about the time management!

Tips for the proper use of time have turned into a large and highly profitable industry. However, more and more scientists declare that time management not only does not make our life better, but, on the contrary, only reduces its quality. Among them is well-known psychologist and business coach Tony Crabbee, whose services are regularly used by such world business leaders as Microsoft, HSBC and Disney. In his new book, Crabbe took a decisive offensive against time management. And speaking more broadly, and today’s principles of the relationship to time in general.

Referring to the work of the famous British historian Edward Palmer Thompson, the psychologist recalls that mankind was not always so concerned about hours and minutes. And yet some 250 years ago, watches seemed to be exclusively a luxury item. In addition, their accuracy was rather conditional, which, however, did not bother anyone. For centuries, mankind has been guided not so much by the time as by the need to solve specific problems. Of course, it is also necessary to plow and sow in the due time, but this period is determined not by hours and minutes, but rather by days.

The industrial revolution radically changed the situation. The work of the factories required the concerted efforts of hundreds of people. And then the account went for a minute or even a second. And with him came the era of worshiping the clock.

Today, this worship has reached an unprecedented and absolutely unjustified scope, Tony Crabbe is sure. He gives three main arguments against endless attempts to stretch his day for a few extra hours and shove as many things as possible into them.

1. Battle with the Lernaean Hydra
The main argument of time management is that, by learning to quickly manage your own affairs, you will free up more time for yourself. Crabbe categorically disagrees. He likens time management to a fight between Hercules and the Lernaean Hydra. This monster was different, scientifically speaking, a high ability to regenerate. And on the spot of each head, severed by Hercules, two new ones immediately grew up. This is exactly the case with time management, as well, writes Crabbe. We are freeing up time to immediately fill it with new business and make it as much as possible. And quickly coping with one task, we take for the next two. Probably also very important. That’s just to say that this approach raises the quality of our lives, alas, it is not necessary.

2. Confetti time
Equipped with the latest gadgets, we seem to ourselves to be mighty warriors armed to the teeth in a duel with time. Our smartphones and computers allow us to check mail at any time in any part of the globe, talk with customers, report to the authorities and take part in important discussions. With the help of these devices, we seem to cut life into the smallest segments that journalist Brigid Schulte wittily called “confetti of time” in her book.
However, in reality we “shred and grind” is not the time, but our own attention, the ability to focus on something important. We negotiate on the beach, instead of having a rest, and check the mail for dinner, instead of staying with the family. This psychotic mental activity psychologist Mihai Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes as “mental entropy”. It was Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi who described the state of the optimal mental experience, called the “flow”. The state of the flow is characterized by the complete dissolution of the person in the action being performed – and the loss of the idea of ​​the course of time. It can be work on a difficult task, or maybe a heart-to-heart conversation with friends, the essence of it does not change – the state of the flow is by definition impossible to achieve, every minute looking at the clock. And the more we turn our time into confetti, the further we find ourselves from the optimal state of our psyche.

3. Ghost Efficiency
To sacrifice one’s psychological well-being and quality of life for the sake of doing more things – ultimately, the personal choice of everyone. But the trouble is that even there is no such choice. The opportunity to be more effective and succeed in life due to time management – if not a myth, then the idea is at least outdated, Tony Crabbe believes. Referring to the research of many serious scientists, he shows: our obsession with a lot of cases and the truth helps us make more decisions. However, the solutions are the most obvious and far from always successful. For example, a professor at the Harvard Business School, Deepak Malhotra, argues that the distribution of attention to a multitude of tasks and concern over time limits reduces our ability to make right decisions. We prefer short-term gains – and often to the detriment of strategic interests.
And psychologists Michael Dedon and Heath Demari showed that a sense of lack of time negatively affects our ability to achieve the desired results. Damocles swords hour and minute hands simply do not allow us to show our abilities to the fullest.

Dictate watches played an important role in the history of mankind, radically changing the world. But we live already not even in the post-industrial, but in the information age. Time is no longer money. And it’s time to use other strategies: making a bet on a deeper understanding of the problems and a creative approach to their solution.

Are you experiencing an overwhelming sense of fatigue, drowsiness and decay just by lunch or worse – immediately after awakening? You obviously do not have enough energy. In order to get it, you do not need to drink a cup of coffee or use energy drinks. It is much more reasonable to revise your diet and remove products that steal vitality and vigor from it, and add those that give them.

Life energy: where and where?

Traditionally, the human body is filled with energy due to proteins, fats and carbohydrates, which are contained in food. Ideally, a person should follow the advice of nutritionists regarding their relationship in the daily menu. Then he will feel active and cheerful all day long. But the difficulty is that people of different professions need different amounts of energy, and overeating is fraught with obesity. Therefore, most often you can help yourself without harm, you can only introduce into your diet energy products.

Why is it difficult to do without them? The rabid rhythm of modern life, the desire to succeed everywhere, as well as physical activity, for example, when you visit the gym, stimulate the production of hormones, including those associated with digestion. As a result, the latter work at full capacity, while the brain and the nervous system are the last ones. Simply because they do not receive useful substances that improve their activity. And instead of a sense of satisfaction and the desire to conquer new peaks, people give only a desire to quickly fall asleep.

What substances enrich the body with energy

Complex carbohydrates – they contain glucose, without which the brain and nervous system can not fully work. You can replenish the lack of complex carbohydrates in the body by eating cereals, legumes, whole-grain bread and greens.

Protein – it gives not only energy, but also a long feeling of satiation, thanks to which a person will not get carried away snacks. Moreover, not all of them are equally useful. Sources of protein are meat, fish products, legumes and nuts.

Magnesium. According to the nutritionist from the United States, Samantha Heller, “this mineral is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions occurring in the body, including during the conversion of glucose into energy.” It is found mainly in nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, cereals and fish, especially in halibut.

Iron. It determines the number of red blood cells that carry oxygen. Their lack, which in medicine is called the term “anemia”, in fact may indicate a lack of oxygen in the body and, as a result, rapid fatigue. You can replenish the deficit of iron by adding to your diet meat products, green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains.

Selenium – a powerful antioxidant, on the level of which depends not only the energy reserve, but also the mood of a person. It is found in seafood, nuts, meat and cereals.

Omega-3 fatty acids are antioxidants that are found in fish.

Cellulose. Like a squirrel, it gives a feeling of saturation, and also normalizes the level of sugar in the blood. Traditionally, the source of fiber is vegetables, fruits and grains.

Vitamin C. It is an antioxidant which, moreover, promotes the assimilation of iron and is present in citrus, dog rose, black currant, etc.

Top 13 energy products

Nuts. In fact, any fit, but nutritionists strongly recommend to use in moments of fatigue is walnuts and almonds. In the first there is protein, iron, zinc, potassium, and in the second – also vitamin E, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which improve brain function.

Water. A person is 70% water, which means that fluid loss inevitably affects his health. Moreover, water takes an active part in most of the processes that take place in the body. Often people confuse thirst with a feeling of hunger, experience a breakdown, eats a long-awaited sandwich and … does not feel the desired result. Simply because at that moment his body required a glass of cool water.

Oatmeal is a source of vitamin B, fiber and complex carbohydrates. It charges the body with energy and increases its stress resistance. Strengthen the effect of its use can be, filling it with yogurt. This is explained by the fact that the protein in combination with complex carbohydrates gives a lasting sense of satiety.

Bananas – they contain potassium, which affects the work of the nerve and muscle cells. In view of the fact that this microelement can not accumulate in the body, dieticians advise eating bananas regularly. Ideally, twice a day. This will help improve the functioning of the nervous system, become more alert and calm.

Herring. It is the source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, which not only enriches with energy, but also has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system. You can replace it with salmon, cod, hake and other types of low-fat or moderately fatty fish.

Lentils. It contains protein, fiber, iron, vitamin B, zinc, magnesium and copper, due to which it replenishes the lack of energy, and also normalizes blood pressure and cholesterol level.

Beef. Thanks to the presence of iron, it increases the tone of the body, and thanks to the presence of vitamin B, zinc and creatine – its store of vital energy.

Seafood is a source of fatty acids, iodine, zinc and tyrosine. The latter contributes to the development of norepinephrine – a hormone, whose action is similar to the action of adrenaline. In addition, they contain vitamin B12, which stimulates the work of the cerebral cortex.

Green tea. It contains caffeine, the simplest and most affordable stimulant, and also L-Tianin, an amino acid that positively affects the cognitive abilities of the brain-memory, attention, perception, thinking, and imagination.

Pumpkin seeds. It is a source of magnesium, on which not only the level of energy depends, but also the strength, endurance of man. Its content in the daily menu allows you to combat the symptoms of depression, increased fatigue and irritability.

Honey. It contains iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, B vitamins and other useful substances that improve the functioning of the nervous system and provide a surge of energy and energy.

How else can we fill the energy shortage?

Lack of sleep, stress, alcohol and smoking negatively affect the body’s energy reserve. At the same time, regular exercise, contrast shower and proper nutrition, including breakfast, have the opposite effect.

The main thing is that there is no place for fat and high-calorie food, as it requires a long processing, from which, respectively, the brain and nervous system suffer. In addition, foods high in sugar, although they provide a surge of energy, but not for long. And all because sugar contributes to the increased production of adrenaline and insulin, which stops immediately with the depletion of its reserves and leaves after itself an even greater sense of drowsiness. The same goes for coffee and drinks with its content, including energy.

Of course, chronic fatigue and loss of strength are a side effect of progress. But they can and must be fought with. Moreover, it takes very little to do this!

]]>Thinning of bones, the washing out of calcium, weak joints are becoming common even for young people, unfortunately. Osteoporosis, arthritis and arthrosis also “get younger”. Therefore, you can not sit and wait for the illness to come, you need to strengthen the bones constantly!

Calcium

In addition to physical activity, it will help to make products and vitamins. The main element of protecting bones from destruction is calcium. A person on average should consume 100 mg of this product per day. Milk, hard cheeses, cottage cheese are the main suppliers of calcium. Cheese is generally an absolutely wonderful product for weight loss, invented even a special cheese diet that provides a sufficient amount of protein and calcium, unlike other mono-diets. For those who do not tolerate lactose, even dairy products without lactose exist today for people with intolerance to this hormone.

In addition to dairy products, a significant amount of calcium is in products such as Atlantic herring, mackerel, white cabbage, watercress, sesame.

But the use of calcium in tablets should be treated with caution. Medicines with calcium must necessarily contain vitamin D, because synthetic calcium can be absorbed incorrectly and lead to the formation of stones.

Vitamins

Saturate the body with calcium half the case. We still need to learn it. This will help vitamin D, which is found in quail eggs, fish and seafood, liver.

The formation of bone tissue is also impossible without vitamin A. It is absorbed only with fats, so do not forget to add a spoonful of cream to the carrot fresh, and fill the carrot salad with sour cream or olive oil! Another is regularly eating meat, cereals, eggs, because they have phosphorus – this element serves to restore bones.

And so familiar to us, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is abundant in citrus and currant, helps to synthesize collagen of bone tissue.

Zinc, magnesium and manganese

In addition to calcium, bones and joints need zinc. Without it, a person begins osteoporosis. Zinc is abundant in the liver, pork and beef tenderloin, poultry, cereals, beans and peas, and also in pine nuts.

Magnesium serves as a catalyst for phosphorus and potassium. First of all, this metal is needed for children, pregnant women and those who like to sit on a low-calorie diet. Wheat bran, sea kale, seeds, cereals, legumes – all are sources of magnesium.

Manganese improves the growth of cartilage and bones. Without it, the building of bone tissue slows down. To avoid this, you need to regularly include in your menu beets, spinach, green salad, garlic, macaroni of hard varieties, beef liver and mushrooms.

It is useful for strengthening bones to include in your meal fresh apricots, dried apricots, orange juice.

Dangerous products for bones

In addition to products useful for bones, there are also harmful ones. Tea, coffee, refined food, soda literally “wash away” calcium from the body. Consumption of such products should be reduced, and even better – completely eliminated.

Naturally, smoking affects smoking badly. Nicotine and tar provoke the covering of bones with pores, and this is the soil for very serious diseases.

Sausages and semi-finished products strike already at the joints. Crab sticks, minerals, baking powder and other products containing phosphates are also harmful.

Fish oil gives us the vitamin – D

It is very important for connective tissues and interarticulate fluid hyaluronic acid. Replenish its amount will help mucopolysaccharides (cartilage of animals, birds and fish, chilli, broths, seaweed). From vitamins to joints the most important are D, C, E, K, B, A.

Movement is healthy joints and bones

One meal will not strengthen the bone, you also need physical exercises. Many believe that sports and fitness are needed only to form a beautiful body. However, it is not. Various loads (cardio, force) help to maintain bone mass and strengthen the bones.

First of all, joints are needed. They are created mobile and must fulfill their functions. From malnutrition or with a sedentary lifestyle, cartilaginous tissue loses its elasticity, becomes thinner, and as a result discomfort occurs during flexion and movement.

It is not necessary to become a fan of an active lifestyle. But here to find time for charging in the mornings is still very advisable! Give preference to exercises for flexibility and stretching with smooth movements – this rate perfectly tones the joints without hurting them. Great, if you decide to do yoga, swimming, start riding a bike or just buy an exercise bike for a house.

In principle, regular jogging is also useful, but during the run, listen to your body: pain in the knees is a sure sign that you need to reduce the intensity of the load on them. This is especially true for those who are overweight. In this case, replace the run on a pedestrian walk in nature or in city parks.

These measures to strengthen bones and joints will help prolong their health for many years.

]]>Vacation is an opportunity not only to relax, but also to become healthier. The sea has a good effect on the state of our body. Unless, of course, his gifts are not abused.
Sea salt is considered curative and almost miraculous: it is not for nothing that it is sold even in pharmacies and is shown by doctors for the treatment and prevention of many diseases.

Tightened skin

In the water we feel our weight differently, and therefore we do much more complex exercises than in the gym. The more salt in the water, the better it develops the muscle corset, gives the skin tone and tightens it.

To use this property of water to the full, try to swim at least 15-20 minutes a day.

Useful minerals

Sea water is a unique source of minerals and salt ions, which, penetrating through the pores of the skin, nourish it and saturate with the necessary trace elements. They are also an excellent source of fighting free radicals, causing cancer.

To the skin absorbed enough useful elements, do not wash off the sea water immediately after bathing. Let it remain on the body for at least 15 minutes, dry. After you can lubricate her with a moisturizer.

No swelling

It is the sea water that nourishes the skin evenly and removes the swelling that arises from the salt that has stagnated in the body.

The salt balance is normalized and literally for a few days of bathing in the sea you can visually lose weight by the whole size. For this purpose it is necessary to carry out in water not less than 10 minutes a day.

Prolong youth

Sea water is rich in iodine. And it, in turn, promotes the regeneration of skin cells, which prolongs its fresh appearance and youth. In addition, it reduces the level of harmful cholesterol in the body, normalizes the hormonal system and strengthens the nerves.

Healthy skin

Sea water struggles with various skin diseases: dermatitis, psoriasis and fungal diseases. Often doctors even prescribe salt baths, and on the sea of ​​this medical luxury is always in abundance.

The sea has the magical power of attraction, its boundless expanse and measured sound of waves fascinates and pacifies. At sea, you can watch for an infinitely long time, and the best holiday for many is firmly associated with the seaside coast.
The waves give the skin the effect of light massage, enrich the body with oxygen, improve the work of blood vessels, lower the pressure. Therefore, moderate sea bathing is recommended by cardiologists.

Sea Water Health Benefits

The water of the seas and oceans normalizes thermoregulation, increases vitality, has a hardening effect, strengthens the body’s defenses. And also – it improves blood circulation, increases the number of red blood cells and normalizes the heart rhythm, thanks to which the sea baths are prescribed to their elderly patients by geriatrics.

Saline waters supply the body with negative ions, neutralizing the excess of harmful positive that urban residents accumulate in the stone jungle. Thanks to this the sea has an anti-stress effect, which is well known to neuropathologists.

And the sea gives us a huge amount of useful substances, normalizing metabolic processes and beneficially acting on the endocrine system and the hypothalamus. Iodine, which is rich in sea water, activates the brain, improves memory, improves the functioning of the thyroid gland.

]]>Scientists believe that happiness is determined by genetics and environmental factors, and also – by almost 40% – by the personal choice of each person. It means only one thing: if you want to be happy, everything is in your hands!

Relations

They are necessary. Harvard University monitored the health of hundreds of men over 70 years old – those who had strong relationships with relatives whom they trusted and from whom they received support were more healthy.

Free time

It is more important than money. A number of studies have shown that happy people often refuse the opportunity to earn extra money so that they have more time to live for their own pleasure.

Money

They should be enough to pay bills. When a person lives in debt or constantly refuses something in something, it is difficult for him to feel happy. So giving up work in favor of free time completely is a bad idea.

Slowdown

Sometimes it is better not to run to work, and in the morning to get up early to walk calmly – maybe stop near the flower bed to enjoy the scent of flowering roses. People who more often devote time to small joys in their lives feel happier.

Kindness

When you do good, it cheers you up. Help a friend in some business or volunteer for work on Saturdays in the morning – people who do this, smile much more often.

Physical activity

Training is not just a way to burn calories. Between the level of physical activity and happiness is a direct link. That is, performing the exercises, you not only bring the body in order, but also mitigate the symptoms of mental illness.

Entertainment

They are more valuable than things. Let’s say you have money – do not waste it on clothes and useless junk. Better pay yourself a new emotion: go on a trip, book a dance, buy an interesting book, etc.

Meditation

Meditation teaches us to live in the present moment. A number of studies have shown that people who practice meditation feel healthier and happier than those who constantly remember the past or are worried about the future.

Friends

The best way to spend your free time is to spend it with your friends. And if your friends share more positive experience than complain about their problems, then communicating with them will make you truly happy.

How not to love an orchid? These gentle lines, beautiful colors, soft petals cause only positive emotions and exceptionally pleasant associations!

Many years ago people believed that an orchid can belong only to special people, gifted, more developed, those who are said to stand out from the “gray mass”. They were given to beloved, the most beautiful girls in order to express their admiration for their beauty.

Orchid in the house – like another member of the family, who by his silent presence helps all the rest to struggle with daily difficulties, beautifies the life, pleases the eye. In addition, an orchid is considered a very successful and pleasant gift. It would Seem, she is not capable to bring negative! But is it?

There are various views and beliefs associated with the orchid in the house. There are many signs about the orchid, which both have any basis, are not supported by anything and are based solely on popular observations.

An energy vampire is a creature or plant that can feed on the energy of a companion. It is to the category of energy vampires that they include an orchid. It is believed that orchids draw life energy from people or animals they live with. This is confirmed even by a feng shui loyal to plants! With what is it connected? It is believed that the reason lies in the pollen of the flower. It has the ability to cause drowsiness and slow down human reflexes.

Another common opinion is that the orchid “scares” the men out of the house. A very unpleasant fact, is not it? Especially for single women. It is believed that the orchid brings great benefits to the female body. It enhances women’s attractiveness, femininity, charm. But a similar effect orchid also takes on men! Thus, in the masculine character completely “not manly” notes appear. Therefore, it is not recommended to put a vase with an orchid in a bedroom or in a room where the representatives of the stronger sex sleep, even the smallest.

The same applies to the vampiric influence of orchids. Do not put orchids in the bedroom as vampirism worsens at night.

Remember: an orchid is a female plant, you should not decorate the male rooms for them. This can harm your man or your relationship.

Is it possible to keep an orchid at home?

No, she will not get out of the pot and beat him with roots. But a person will suddenly feel worse, dizzy, nauseous. Similar abilities are observed in other “brothers of our smaller”. As is known, dogs and cats are also very sensitive to the negative emotions of their master, and in relation to him.

Also one of the unpleasant sensations that causes an orchid is the syndrome of anxiety. If you or your loved ones feel uneasy in a seemingly easy and light atmosphere, look at the windowsill. Perhaps the cause of your condition blooms beautiful flowers, innocently tilting the petals in your direction?

A huge influence on the properties of the flower has its coloring. Yes, it is color – one of those most important properties of plants that can change the atmosphere in your home. This opinion is also influenced by the doctrine of Feng Shui. The home plant affects the person and the atmosphere in the house in different ways.

A worse option is also possible: deep depression or prolonged melancholy. As is known, in the modern world it is really very difficult to remain calm and positive thinking. Daily difficulties and problems often knock us out of the rut, especially in a more gentle and sensitive half of humanity – women and girls. In addition, they are more dependent also on the hormonal background of the body, therefore they are more likely to be affected by the negative influence of the external environment and, as a consequence, fall into depression. If you or one of your loved ones begins to succumb to this state, the world is getting darker, and the problems – more and more necessarily put in your room white or pink orchids. The colors of beige shades are also perfect. This will help you understand yourself, find a bright path and also decorate your interior with the sweetest flowers of orchids.
